The Cherry And The Strawberry (Bleach Fanfic)

Chapter One

Many Years Ago

In North Rukongai of Zaraki a small village of huts were set ablaze by mere common thieves. Many people, half of them being families, ran out their homes only to be killed. The men, and a few women of the small village fought off the thieves but the fight didn't last long.

Both parties died at the scene as the smoke of the fires covered the area. It was a slaughter house. Many men, women and children laid on the ground in a pool of their own blood. It was a massacre.

Soon a group of people dressed in black and one with a white coat suddenly appeared in front of the burning village.

"It's a massacre here..." A man said.

"Don't stand there! Look for survivors!" A woman with purple hair, dark skin and golden eyes yelled.

"Yes, captain!" They all ran about the area as a man with blonde hair stayed beside the woman.

"Well, this is bad." He said rubbing the back of his head. The woman snapped her eyes at him.

"I gave you an order, Kisuke! Go help and look for survivors!"

"Geez, Yoruichi, I'm going." Kisuke slightly pouted but did as his captain ordered him to do. He made his way towards a big house where he felt spiritual pressure located.

"S-someone! H-help!" Eyes widening, he heard a voice belonging to a woman inside the burning house.

"Captain! I found one!" Yoruichi and the rest of the group rushed over as they saw Kisuke run into the house.

"Kisuke!" Kisuke heard his friend yell his name from outside. He looked around the place to see a couple huddled together as a barrier procteted them from the heat of the fire but he noticed that the man was injured, including the woman behind him.

Kisuke jumped above the fire making his way over to the couple. Kneeling down he saw just how injured the both of them really are. The man and woman have a stab wound throw the abdomen, and additional wounds on the man.

"Please, help us." The woman coughed up blood as it ran down her chin.

"Don't you worry, come on." Kisuke got them both in his arms as he looked across the room at the door that was blocked by flames.

Outside, Yoruichi and the others waited for their comrade to rush out the building.

"Lady Yoruichi, what shall we do? Do you want us to go in there?" Turning her head she looked down at a young girl looking at the burning home that was coming down.

"No."

"But lady Yoru-"

"Soi-Fon, we will wait here for third seat Kisuke Urahara."

"Yes, lady Yoruichi." A minute later Kisuke ran throw the flames carrying two people, a second later the house collapsed.

"There, don't move too much." Kisuke leaned the couple against a tree, kneeling beside the woman.

"T-thank yo-you so m-much, Soul Reaper.." The man rasped out.

"Yes, th-thank you..." The woman gave him a smile as she held a bundle inside her yukata.

"A child?" He mumbled, looking up at the woman he noticed she couldn't be any older then seventeen years old, the man looked to be a year older then her.

"H-how is our daughter, Cana?"

"She's doing fine, Kuroda... Slept through the whole thing..." She said taking the infent out showing the man beside her their child sleeping. Kuroda chuckled as he looked at the child in her arms.
